藏東 十九世紀 金剛亥母唐卡The painting's large central figure of Vajravarahi depicts the three-eyed goddess with a ritual chopper in her raised right hand and a blood-filled skullcup in her left. A staff (khatvanga) rests in the crook of her left arm. A sow's head emerging from the right side of her crown helps identify her. Adorned with skulls and meticulously delineated bone ornaments, Vajravarahi is presented as a fierce yet elegant protector of the Chakrasamvara Cycle of Tantras. She is accompanied by the primordial Buddha Vajradhara above, and various vajrayoginis in each corner, including Naro Khechari, Maitri Khechari, Troma Nagmo, and Six-Armed Vajrayogini. Compare another East Tibetan thangka of Vajravarahi with a similar composition and treatment of its landscape (HAR 15494). ProvenanceCollection of Dr. Robert Schaller Jr., Seattle, acquired in India, 1960s
